This work discusses simulation results for the fuzzy logic controller tested the project“Fuzzy Ramp Metering Algorithm Implementation.”The performance objectives were, in order of priority, to maximize total vehicle-miles, maximize mainline speeds, and minimize delay per vehicle while maintaining an acceptable ramp queue. In the fuzzy logic controller, the sensors from the on-ramps were helpful in maintaining reasonable ramp queue and mainline congestion because it considered these factors simultaneously. Each metered ramp had a parameter input file, which allowed the controller to be modified without recompiling the software. Consequently, maintenance costs should be minimal.

We propose a learning method for improving the performance of the backpropagation algorithm. The proposed method is using a fuzzy logic system for automatic tuning of the learning rate of each weight. Instead of choosing a fixed learning rate, the fuzzy logic system is used to dynamically adjust the learning rate. The inputs of fuzzy logic system are delta and delta bar, and the output of fuzzy logic system is the learning rate. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed simulations on the XOR problem, character classification, and function approximation. The results show that the proposed method considerably improves the performance compared to the general backpropagation, the backpropagation with momentum, and the Jacobs'delta-bar-delta algorithm.

The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre(SCK${\cdot}$CEN) has been a pioneer of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy after over forty years of existence. Recently, SCK${\cdot}$CEN's financial support of doctoral and postdoctoral research in close collaboration with universities has been a vital ingredient for securing a quality profile committed to the pursuit of execllence. FLINS, Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent technologies in Nuclear Science, was initially built within one of the postdoctoral research project at SCK${\cdot}$CEN. Among SCK${\cdot}$CEN's activities which will have an important impact on its scientific future, the application of fuzzy logic and intelligent technologies in nuclear science and engineering opens new domains in radiation protection, safety assessment, human reliability, nuclear reactor control, waste and disposal, etc. In this paper, we review the available literature on fuzzy logic in nuclear applications. We then present the initiative of R&D on fuzzy logic applications at SCK${\cdot}$CEN, namely, (1) safety control for a nuclear reactor, and (2) a safety evaluation model for nuclear transmission lines. By these two examples of nuclear applications, we illustrate the potential use of fuzzy logic in nuclear safety issues.

This paper describes the design process and the experimental results of a fuzzy logic controller to control the tip position of a fixible-link manipulator, directly driven by a AC motor, with a large payload. The joint angle fuzzy logic controller is designed without a costly nonlinear system analysis of the flexible manipulator and the AC motor drive system. The state variables for the fuzzy logic controller are joint angle, joint velocity, link deflection, and link deflection velocity. The simulation and experimental results show that the joint position control is not satisfactory when the controller is designed under the assumption of no link flexibility and that stable joint position control and link vibration suppression can be cahieved with the fuzzy logic controller suggested in this paper.

When the driver suddenly depresses the brake pedal under critical conditions, the desired trajectory of the vehicle can be changed. In this study, the vehicle dynamics and fuzzy logic controller are used to control the vehicle trajectory. The dynamic vehicle model consists of the engine, the rotational wheel, chassis, tires and brakes. The engine model is derived from the engine experimental data. The engine torque makes the wheel rotate and generates the angular velocity and acceleration of the wheel. The dynamic equation of the vehicle model is derived from the top-view vehicle model using Newton's second law. The Pacejka tire model formulated from the experimental data is used. The fuzzy logic controller is developed to compensate for the trajectory error of the vehicle. This fuzzy logic controller individually acts on the front right, front left, rear right and rear left brakes and regulates each brake torque. The fuzzy logic controlling each brake works to compensate for the trajectory error on the split - $\mu$ road conditions follows the desired trajectory.

The dynamics of the vehicle system has highly nonlinear components such as an engine, a torque converter and variable road condition. This thesis proposes a Fuzzy Logic Algorithm that shows better control performance than Antiwindup PI in the highly nonlinear vehicle system. Traction Control System(TCS), which adjusts throttle valve opening by Fuzzy Logic Algorithm improves vehicle drivability, steerability and stability when vehicle is starting and cornering. When a throttle valve is opened at large degree, Fuzzy Logic Algorithm shows better performances like a small settling time and a small oscillation than Antiwindup PI in simulation. The decreased desired slip ratio improves steerability in the simulation when a vehicle is cornering. The Fuzzy Logic Algorithm has been tested by a 1/5-scale vehicle for tracking the constant desired velocity.

Fuzzy logic control has been widely applied for handling the system which has uncertainty or high robust system. Since the dynamic behaviors of the systems contain complexity and uncertainty in its parameters, several fuzzy logic controllers have been implemented to control room temperature in the field of air conditioning system. In this paper, the fuzzy logic control has been developed to control both in door temperature and humidity in the air conditioning systems. The manipulating variables are speed of compressor, heater and supply air flow rate. The microcomputer was used to interface with in system. The experimental results show the superior of multivaiable fuzzy logic control to keep room temperature and humidity in air conditioning system for the best comfortable.

Fuzzy logic controllers are often found to behave better than PI controllers. One of the major reasons for this is that the fuzzy logic inferences used can produce nonlinear type controllers. For some applicatioins, howeveer, linear fuzzy logic controllers also perofrm better than PI controllers. In this paper, we examine linear fuzzy logic controllers to show that the truncation effects of the fuzzy logic controllers make them perform much better than the PI controllers. In terms of a performance index we used, the truncation effects reduced the index value by up to 80% for examples we studied.
